Abstract (en)

Method for automatically correcting image registration in an image transfer system comprising a plurality of moving image forming media (26A, 26B, 26C, 26D) on each of which an image is formed in response to a corresponding start-of-page signal, and an image carrier (10) moving past each of the image forming media and brought into contact therewith in a respective transfer zone (30), characterized in that the image forming media are driven independently from one another and the timings of the start-of-page signals and/or the speeds of the image forming media are controlled to maintain a fixed relation between the longitudinal image distortions occurring in each transfer zone (30) and the timings of the associated start-of-page signals. <IMAGE>
